Health
How to achieve radiant good health through exercise and natural means was Bernarr Macfadden's central message throughout his entire life. [1]
- Exercise is health!
“There’s no medicine that’s more important than exercise,” Daniel Lieberman, chair of Harvard’s Human Evolutionary Biology Department.
Movement-cures, on the other hand, reveal their benefit after the end of a week or so—at first by improvements in the facility of the exercise itself, but soon also by indisputable physiological changes for the better. The appetite revives, sleep becomes quieter and more protracted, till the depressing feeling of helplessness gives way to the buoyancy of self-confidence. [2]
Injuries
Most people know about runner’s high. But for most runners, injury is as much a part of the experience as euphoria. Studies vary widely, but it is estimated that between 30 and 80 percent of regular runners are injured in a given year. Shin splints, runner’s knee, iliotibial band syndrome, plantar fasciitis: For many years, everyone from coaches to biologists to casual joggers has accepted such injuries almost as a necessary evil... But a growing number of researchers, many of them at Harvard, are convinced it doesn’t have to be that way. [3]
